I am searching for amusement park ride math questions and/or projects to do just for fun.

Roller coasters probably offer a number of possibilities (e.g. what's the minimum speed to make it through a loop with out falling?).
How about those swings that spin around - given a particular rotational speed, and a particular mass, what angle does the swing make relative to a vertical line?
These are really physics questions, but where would physics be without math?
